I booked two houses, Parkers and Brook House for a large group of friends. The houses were a couple of minutes walk apart and this worked very well. The houses were clean and well equipped. Kim, the caretaker, was fantastically helpful before, during and after the visit. A basket of complementary local goodies awaited our arrival, There were 16 of us in the group and everyone was very happy with the accommodation

Excellent 3 generation family week - large garden for youngsters to play in (adult supervision needed with the small stream running through the garden).Very friendly welcome from the manager of the property, very enjoyable welcome pack of local products, and very comfortable house. Taller members beware some low beams, iron chandeliers and door frames!A delightful and quirky old house with everything that you would need for a pleasant stay.Local tourist information limited but I imagine that most people know what they would be interested in locally and will do their own research.
